The American people are mad. No, check that, they are steaming mad. In the weeks leading up to the election, poll after poll after poll has shown that the American people are angrier at government than at any other point in modern U.S. history. American voters have been angry before, but this time it is different. Instead of being mad at just one political party, the American people are now clearly disgusted with both political parties. Neither major party has a positive approval rating. People are sick and tired of the economy being in the tank, they are sick and tired of not being able to get good jobs and they are sick and tired of the nonsense that has been going on in Washington. Both political parties are busy pointing fingers at each other, but what all the major polls in the weeks leading up to the election clearly show is that the American people are placing the blame on both the Republicans and the Democrats. In fact, as you will see below, a clear majority of the American people now wish that they could throw every member of Congress out of office and a clear majority of the American people now wish that they had a third political party to vote for. We have arrived at a point where both political parties have lost the faith of the American people, and where we go from here is anyone’s guess. Not that the American people have a clear idea of what they actually want. The truth is that the citizens of the United States are deeply, deeply divided on a whole host of issues. But the one thing that American voters can agree on is that they are hopping mad. The following are 12 recent polls that prove that the American people are really, really pissed off as election day approaches…. #1 According to a recent USA Today/Gallup poll, only about one in four Americans is satisfied with the way that the country is being governed. #2 The latest ABC News/Yahoo poll found that faith in the U.S. system of government is at a 36 year low. #3 The newest New York Times/CBS News survey discovered that about 60 percent of American voters believe that their own members of Congress do not deserve to be re-elected. #4 According to Gallup, Barack Obama had an average approval rating of just 44.7% during the seventh quarter of his presidency, which was a new low. Obama’s average approval rating has fallen substantially every single quarter since he took office. #5 A Bloomberg National Poll conducted a couple of weeks ago found that more than 40 percent of likely voters who once considered themselves to be Obama supporters are now either less supportive of Obama or do not support him at all at this point. #6 An absolutely stunning Gallup poll released last month revealed that a whopping 58 percent of the American people believe that a third political party is needed because the Republicans and the Democrats are doing such a bad job of representing the American people. #7 A new study by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University discovered that more than 40 percent of the American people would give the government either a D or an F. #8 CNBC recently conducted a survey which found that 92 percent of Americans rate the U.S. economy as either “fair” or “poor”. #9 A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey revealed that 69 percent of Americans believe that free trade agreements have cost the United States jobs. Only 18 percent of the survey respondents said that they believed that free trade agreements have created more American jobs than they have lost. #10 A Politico/George Washington University Battleground Poll released late last month found that 63 percent of the American people believe that the nation is on the wrong track. #11 A recent Gallup poll discovered that 46% of Americans believe that the U.S. federal government “poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens.” #12 A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey that was just completed found that 65% of likely U.S. voters say that if they had the option, they would vote out every member of Congress and start all over. So will all of this anger result in major change happening in Washington D.C. after the election? No. There are 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. At the very most, about 100 of those seats are actually “in play” – meaning that they have a chance to change hands. So that means that we are going to see at least 335 of the exact same faces when the U.S. House of Representatives begins a new session. The cold, hard reality is that our current system greatly, greatly, greatly favors incumbents. Over the past five elections, incumbents have been re-elected to the U.S. House of Representatives at an average rate of 96 percent. Wouldn’t you like to have a 96 percent chance of winning? Sure, in 2010 things will be a little different, but we will still likely see incumbents winning at least 80 percent of their matchups. So much for “change”, eh?

That has been my mantra for many years, along about the time GHWB finished his reign. Maybe the TEA Party will be the Sword hanging over the Repub heads to get them nearer the Constitution. If they Mealy Mouth around about repealing a lot of the crap we have to live with, it might force the issue. I've heard too much groundwork being laid already about WHY they won't be able to stop obama's edicts.
My Halloween political joke: Vampires run for office. Zombies vote them in.
Democrats don't mind war as long as they can have big government. Republicans don't mind big government as long as they can have war. This is good news indeed! They are pissed off now because they are in pain now. IMHO that is the only reason for their anger. If it was all happening to Someone Else, it wouldn't affect them at all. Now, when the alternative party fails to deliver, and you know they will fail to deliver, we will have a huge number of allies. The more the merrier I always say. .
So much for “change”, eh?

If you believe in small government, then you shouldn't be in the White House.

Should we see another 9-11 attack on America, the first thing that should be done, is a march on Washington by a fully armed civilian force to remove from office every politician, and every member of their staff. Once the trials are over for treason, dereliction of duty, and malfeasance, they should all be properly hanged. Then, the heads of our military should be rounded up as well, and hanged for treason. Just following orders is not an excuse for a dereliction of duty, nor is it an excuse to kill innocent Americans. When 9-11 happened I asked, "Who does this benefit?". Did it benefit the American People? No. Did it benefit Europe? No. Did it benefit Islam? No. Did it benefit Afghanistan or Iraq? No. Did it benefit Big Business in America? Well, Yes, indirectly after the bailouts. Did it benefit the banking industry? Of course it did. Directly and indirectly after the bailouts, and the mortgage crisis. The international banksters now own more property in the United States than private citizens do, and the best part, is that they're being bailed out by the very same people they're fleecing everyday in the private sector. On top of everything else, our rights and freedoms have been abridged to the point to where Orwell would started screaming Plagiarism. Then, there's those who REALLY benefited the most. Those who shall remained un-named as their part in all of it has yet to be revealed. I'm still waiting for the truth to come out about what happened to our country, and why we're being destroyed by our own leaders. Like most of you, I'm going to guess it has to do with a chosen people, and their so called birthright. It's always been about creating a self-fulfilling prophecy, and destroying anyone who gets in the way of it. The greatest con ever played on humanity is coming to fruition, and we have all the right devils playing their parts in our willful destruction.
